I know it sounds too good to be true, but it IS true. In 1986 the government, as an alternative option, introduced IVA's for people who at the time
faced either a life in debt or bankruptcy. The creditors do have the opportunity to reject the IVA but we would not suggest it if we believed you did not
qualify or the creditors would object.
Hearsay and rumours have in some instances clouded what an IVA actually is. Think of an IVA as a deal with the creditors. This option is not bankruptcy so therefore open to people in sensitive positions too, such as the armed forces,
the police force and bank staff. Again, if your not sure then talk to us, rumours you've heard might be stopping you following an option which applies to your
situation.
There are restrictions but if you don't ask you'll never know so take advantage of our experienced staff and call us on our freephone number for more information.
